According to Rolling Stone, a rep for Stallone says reports of a plot in Rambo 5 involving ISIS are “not accurate.”

Original story as follows...

“We have teams scouting Iraq and parts of Syria where ISIS have their greatest strongholds,” Stallone announced at Comic-Con. “We’re working with the locals there to help deliver the most intense and realistic Rambo movie experience ever.”

Apparently Sly wasn't even at Comic-Con.Bummer, I don't know about the rest of you guys but I would have loved to see Rambo single handily defeat ISIS.

Scott Adkins returns as Boyka in first picture from Undisputed 4!

“In the fourth installment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for. When he finds out the wife of the man he accidentally killed is in trouble, Boyka offers to fight…."

"In the fourth instalment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an accidental death in the ring makes him question everything he stands for. When he finds out the wife of the man he accidentally killed is in trouble, Boyka offers to fight in a series of impossible battles to free her from a life of servitude."

God damn... I couldn't think of a better premice for a new Rambo film.
Anyway, Sly destroyed his carrer in 1989 with Rambo III, if I remember well Russia went out of Afghanistan a few days after the movie release. (Bad Timing...) So a new action film about a curent conflict seems a bit unlikely.
On a side note, Rambo prety much helped the Talibans taking over the Country when he left. XD

The Martin Campbell adaptation is based on Stephen Leather’s The Chinaman

Deadline is reporting that Casino Royale, Edge of Darkness and Green Lantern director Martin Campbell is in talks to direct Jackie Chan in the previously-titled The Foreigner for STX Entertainment. The film, an adaptation of Stephen Leather’s novel “The Chinaman,” is scheduled to start filming in the fall. The book is described as follows:

Jungle-skilled, silent and lethal, Nguyen Ngoc Minh had killed for the Viet Cong and then for the Americans. Imprisoned and tortured after the Communist victory, he escaped with his wife and baby daughter to Hong Kong – but only after being forced to watch Thai pirates rape and kill his two eldest daughters.
Now the proud owner of the Double Happiness Chinese takeaway in South London, he watches his daughter grow into a beautiful young woman, secure in the knowledge that the horrors of his homeland are finally behind him.
Until the day an IRA bomb in a Knightsbridge store snatches his family from him in a horrific maelstrom of fire and glass.
Then, simply but persistently, he began to ask the authorities who were the men responsible, what was being done. And was turned away, fobbed off, treated as a nuisance.
Which was when the Chinaman, denied justice, decided on revenge. And went back to war.
The book was adapted by David Marconi and Peter Buchman. Wayne Godfrey is producing.

I think a part of the reason why they won't have ISIS is potential backlash. Rambo's a badass and all, but to show him single handedly taking down a "real world threat" that thousands have died for might come off as undermining the actual efforts and sacrifices people have made.
